A landmark case will be decided in Brisbane today to determine if a Queensland woman can have IVF to fall pregnant with her partner's child nearly two years after he died.
Within hours of Joshua Davies' death in August 2016 a special court order was granted to harvest his reproductive tissue.
Ayla Creswell has since undergone medical checks and insisted she is capable of raising a child on her own.

Her psychologist Yvonne Rosman previously told the court she had counselled Ms Cresswell and believed she had had enough time to grieve for Mr Davies and come to terms with the challenges she might face as a sole parent.

Ms Cresswell told the court she thinks she is capable, also having bought her first home and saving for the IVF process.

Mr Davies’ family is also supporting her, saying he would have wanted Ms Cresswell to have his baby, and that he “would be honoured” for her to have his children.

One of Davies’ friends also revealed text message exchanges showing he wanted to become a father.
